Portfolio Performance

The Private Land and Property Fund (PLPF) continues to perform as

expected, returning 6.1% for the three months to 30 June 2021 and

12.1% for the last year (after fees and before tax). PLPF invests through

the wholesale Booster Private Land and Property Portfolio (PLPP)

1

.

The Fund is currently generating annual cash based pre-tax earnings of

3.23% from its lease income and grape supply contracts.

Over the quarter PLPF also benefited from a valuation uplift in one of the

portfolio assets (the Kerikeri kiwifruit orchard).

As at the end of June, PLPP has property related assets of over $94m,

which after debt has a net asset value of over $75.5m

Property revaluation review

In the March quarterly report, we included a net valuation adjustment in

the unit price to reflect the positive valuation for the Kerikeri kiwifruit

orchard. The level of market activity during the June quarter has

provided significant market information for both vineyards and kiwifruit

and associated licences. Subsequent to the reporting date of 31 March

2021 and consistent with the property valuation policy for the PLPF, the

Manager commissioned and received a report on 1 May 2021 for the

Kerikeri orchard.

As a consequence, PLPF recognised a further uplift beyond that taken at

31 March by another $1.3m (reflecting an increase of 7.46% in the unit

price).

Waimea West Hops - Nelson

Waimea West Hops is a well-established hops garden located 15km

south west of Nelson close to the settlement of Brightwater. PLPP made

a cash investment Q1/2021 of $7 million for a 50% shareholding in 28.5

canopy hectares of mature hops and associated processing facilities. The

garden is planted with a wide range of aroma hops, the key varieties

being the in-demand Nelson Sauvin and Motueka.

Our investment will enable development of approximately 83 canopy

hectares of hops across two additional sites, approximately 34 canopy

hectares already contracted (settlement on 30 June 2021) and the

balance on sites to be confirmed (first right of refusal in place on one).

The development is expected to take until 2023 with all plantings fully

mature by 2026.

Waimea West Hops is part of a grower co-operative (New Zealand Hops

Limited) which markets, distributes and sells hops on behalf of growers.

New Zealand Hops enters in separate contracts (typically 2 year rolling

contracts) with end customers in New Zealand and internationally.
